Thought I was having carb problems in my Honda 50. Wasn't sure what to do (tear it apart.. clean it.. lose out on fishing days during peak Ono (Wahoo) season, with some big Ahi coming up too). Started running ethanol free gas in it to see how it would do and let me tell you, it's like I have a new engine. She purrs like a kitten and doesn't kick out anymore. I even have to throttle down some when I am trolling because it seems to push harder. I just wanted to see what fellow outboard owners feel about e/0 gas or if they can even find it where they are. Here (Kona,HI) only the Harbor has it and costs about 15 cents more.
